Book Avoca Beach hotels

Love that beach vibe but want somewhere quiet to chill? Then head to Avoca Beach! Located on New South Wales’ Central Coast, Avoca Beach is only an hour and a half north of Sydney but feels like it’s worlds away. Relax with our great range of Avoca Beach accommodation and hotels.

Avoca Beach takes its name from the Irish name meaning "where river meets the sea", so naturally there are lots of things to do in town to get wet. First things first, head to the beach! The golden stretch of sand is flanked on both ends by rocky headlands which are great for fishing off. Just relax and work on your tan and if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous head out on the waves after a surf lesson at the Central Coast Surf School. Avoca Beach also has an ocean rock pool which is perfect for kids (and for those who aren’t that keen on waves). Located 1.8 kilometres from the shore of Avoca Beach is the Ex-HMAS Adelaide which was deliberately sunk to create an artificial reef which has become popular with scuba divers. Avoca Lake, just 100m behind the beach, also offers plenty of water adventures. Hire a pedal boat or kayak or take a stand-up paddle board lesson. There’s also a picnic and BBQ area and a children’s playground making it the ideal place for a family day out.

After all that fun in the sun head to one of the restaurants and café’s that line the beach to satisfy your appetite. Here you’ll also find a number of boutique shops because, let’s face it, no getaway is complete without a spot of shopping.

If you’re in town on the fourth Sunday on each month head to the Heazlett Park Foreshore for the Avoca Beachside Markets. The markets offer over 100 stalls selling everything from home wares, jewellery, local art, skincare and clothing. The markets also feature fresh food and produce and entertainment for the whole family with local musicians playing throughout the day and free art sessions for kids.

When in town, catch a movie at the Avoca Beach Picture Theatre. Constructed by the Hunter brothers in 1951 the picture theatre is still run by the Hunter family today. The Avoca Beach Picture Theatre regularly holds cultural events and film festivals such as Flickerfest, Indigenous Film Festival, Surf Film Festival and their very own Coasties Film festival, as well as screening the latest international and Australian films. The theatre is also licensed so you can enjoy a few beers or wines before the movie (trust us, Ryan looks even better with your vino glasses on).

So start planning your trip there now with our great range of Avoca Beach hotels and accommodation.
